2) The players you keep each have an assigned "keeper round" equal to the round in which they were originally drafted. If you keep a player you drafted in the 4th round the previous year, they will count as your 4th round pick next year. And so on.

3) If you keep a two players from the same 3rd round, those two players will count as your 3rd and 4th round picks next year. The same thing will happen if you keep any two players from the same round. The keeper round value of the two players will be the round, and round+1.

4) If you keep a player that went undrafted the previous draft, they will count as your last round (23rd round) pick the next year.

5) If you trade for a player during the season, their keeper round value will be based on the round they were drafted the previous draft.

6) If you pick up a player off waivers, their keeper round value will be based on the round they were drafted the previous draft, unless they went undrafted...and then see Rule 4.

7) If you decide to keep a player in subsequent years...the "keeper round" of the player will jump up as the original draft round divided by 2 (rounded).

Example: You drafted Gio Gonzalez in Round 12 in Year 1. His keeper value is as follows:

Notice here that Heyward's keeper value does not follow Rule 7, which would state that his new keeper value would be round 2. But since Adrian Gonzalez is already occupying Round 2, Heyward's keeper round would remain at Round 3 until ATG decides not to keep Zimmerman or Gonzo.

Same with Gio Gonalez. In Year 4, if ATG keeps the same 4 players

In Year 4: Zimmerman (1st), Gonzo (2nd), Heyward (3rd), Gio (4th).

Therefore Rule 7 only applies when there aren't other keepers ahead of the player in question.

9) All other scenarios not specified in the keeper rules above will be determined at the commissioner's discretion.

So when we start drafting, Player A would be giving up their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 13th round picks....Player A would begin drafting in Round 4.

As you can see, this assigns more value to good players that you can find in the latter stages of the draft, like David Price above in Round 13....because you would be losing a much lower draft pick.

If you decide you want to keep a player that went undrafted the previous year, that you picked up off the waiver wire, then that guy would have a keeper value of Round 23.

Say team A drafted Alex Rios in Round 10 of Year 1. Then during the year they dropped Alex Rios. Team B picks up Alex Rios and then decides they want to keep Alex Rios for Year 2. Alex Rios would have a keeper round value of Round 10, not round 23. Player B would be giving up their 10th round pick in Year 2.

Every single plate appearance has a specific value. If a batter gets....

A single (H+1B+AB) = 1.5 total points
A walk = 1.5 total points
A double (H+2B+AB) = 2.5 total points
A triple (H+3B+AB) = 3.5 total points
A home run (H+HR+AB) = 4.5 total points
A ground out, fly ball, or if the batter reaches base on a fielder's choice or error = - 0.25 total points
A strikeout (SO+AB) = -1 total point
A hit by pitch (HBP) = 1 total point

The reason it is like that is because with pitching scoring you lose points for every hit, walk, earned run, hit batter. Starting pitchers only accumulate positive points for a win, strikeout, or grounding a batter into a double play.

Therefore, the only way to balance pitching scoring with batter scoring is to give positive points to a pitcher for every perfect inning (3 up, 3 down).

You earn 2.5 points per perfect inning pitched. (3 up, 3 down)

If a pitcher has an inning where they walk a batter, give up a single, but get out of the inning with no more damage = 0.5 points for that inning.

If a pitcher gives up a double, and then a single which scores 1 earned run = -0.5 points for that inning.

If you have a pitcher who throws a perfect Game like Roy Halladay
May 29, @FLA, 9IP, 0ER, 0H, 0R, 11K, W = around 50 points

If you have a pitcher who has a Barry Zito pre-2012 meltdown:
August 28: Arizona, 7 ER, 3.2 IP, 6 H, 9R, 5BB = around -10 points

So the scale for pitchers is an extreme high of +50 points and an extreme low of -10 points.

Elite starters will average between 15-19 points per start in this set-up.

Since Elite Starters average around 33 starts, that means elite starting pitchers are worth between 500 and 630 points per season.

Pujols is worth between 660 and 700 points per season. Elite hitters are worth between 520 and Pujols.

So this gives a decent balance between hitters and pitchers.

Hitting Scale (per game): From -6 to +30 points

Starting Pitching Scale (per game): From -10 points to +50 points

Relief Pitcher Scale: From -10 points (Armando Benitez worst outing) to +10.5 points (a top closer striking out the side for the save).
